Why Use a Part-Time Director?

Part-time Directors are not new. But demand in recent years for expertise across different functions has grown. Many highly experienced and qualified Directors now choose to work as a part-time director, lending their expertise and skillset to CEOs who lack senior leadership in their teams, but don’t have the requirements or budget to hire someone full-time.

At Leadership Services, we can supply:

• Operations Directors
• Finance Directors
• IT Directors
• Data Directors
• Marketing Directors

What Type of Business Needs a Part-Time Director?

From our experience working with clients across different sectors, we’ve found that there are typically four types of companies that need a part-time Director:

1. Companies that are growing, and want the benefits and expertise of a full-time Director without the costs.
2. Companies undergoing significant changes that require additional Director-level resources.
3. Companies that are looking to hire full-time, but need to hire a part-time Director on an interim basis to manage the transition – and in some cases, lead the hiring process of the full-time Director.
4. Companies delivering a large-scale and complex project that requires senior leadership, experience and expertise to deliver on time and to budget.

What Can a Part-Time Director Offer?

Transformative leadership – Our Directors are leaders in their field, each with a track record of leading successful business transformations in the past.

Knowledge and experience – We only recruit Directors with a minimum of 10 years experience, a proven track record of success, who can deliver the same value and impact as a full-time Director.

Strategic vision – A part-time Director will be able to assess the business, analyse current performance, identify risks and opportunities, and provide a strategic roadmap to future-proof a business and position them for success.

Accountability – Unlike consultants, Leadership Services leads from within, actively taking ownership of all strategic decisions and project delivery.

Flexibility – Our Directors can start straight away. There’s no long and tiresome recruitment process. And they’ll work as many days as needed each month. We find that one day a week works best for most companies.

Mentorship and people management – An engaged and empowered team has a positive effect on an organisation’s growth. A part-time Director mentors the team, develops their skills, and ensures they’re growing, learning and thriving alongside the business.

Innovative decision-making – We’re there to challenge decisions and come up with creative, innovative solutions to help CEOs achieve their business goals.

Immediate impact – Our Directors will demonstrate value from day one. They have the experience, don’t need a learning curve, and will quickly identify what your business needs to grow.
